Receding Gum Treatment

Receding gums can lead to exposure of the roots of the teeth, leaving them vulnerable to damage. Gum tissue becomes recessed and changes the position of the gums in relation to the teeth. There are a number of common causes of receding gums. Not all causes are medical, however. Using a hard brush, or brushing and flossing too vigorously can cause your gums to recede. You may have receding gums if you have a genetic predisposition to the condition. People with abnormal tooth position may also develop receding gums over time.

Grinding your teeth in your sleep – a condition known as bruxism – can lead to a number of problems including receding gums. More commonly, gum recession is caused by trauma to the gums, either through injury or infection. Most causes of receding gums are treatable with general dentistry at Green Dental. We can assess the needs of our Alexandria, VA, patients and offer suitable treatment options.

I just had my first appointment at Green Dental and I couldn't be happier with their service. I tend to be nervous when going to the dentist, but all of the staff were very welcoming and nice. The exam chair massages your back as you're getting your cleaning and there's a television on the ceiling to distract you from dental work. The cleaning and evaluation was very gentle. Thanks, Green Dental!

Once again, even the cleaning was uneventful. Love being able to look outside while I'm in the chair. Dr. Park has the most gentle & tiny hands ! Love this place and the staff.

I've seen Dr. Park for a consultation only, but so far had a wonderful experience and trust she will take care of me when I come back for treatment. She was thorough in her explanations, and referred me to an amazing Oral Surgeon to take care of an issue outside of her area. ALL of her staff was super friendly, professional, and personable, the office is in pristine condition, and overall you can tell patient care is number 1 on their list.
